The Story in Brief
An ITBP Deputy Inspector General, Parminder Singh, and his driver, Ravi Shankar, were killed on Saturday after their Scorpio crossed a divider and collided with a Swift Dzire on the Dehradun-Panchkula National Highway in Saharanpur, police said. The crash took place near Jhabiran cut around 9.30 am. Singh was travelling to Ambala after completing a training programme in Mussoorie.
The Scorpio’s gunner, Jairam, suffered a hand injury. Three occupants of the Swift Dzire, travelling towards Haridwar, were also injured. Police said one was in critical condition. The bodies were sent for post-mortem examination. Saharanpur police said the exact cause remains under investigation, with evidence collected from the site.
The Indian Opinion
Early reports often turn highway deaths into quick claims about speeding, driver error or poor roads. Here, police have said only that the Scorpio lost control before crossing the divider. That is not a final finding. The condition of the vehicles, road surface, visibility and any medical or mechanical factor should be examined before blame is assigned. The key test will be the investigation’s evidence and post-mortem findings, not speculation from the crash site.
